Summary
Indian Trail Elementary School serves 325 students in grades PK–6 in Downers Grove, in Downers Grove GSD 58, which SchoolDigger rates in the 87th percentile statewide with four stars. SchoolDigger gives Indian Trail three stars; in 2025–2026, it ranked 711th of 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 59th percentile. The most important concern for families is English Language Arts: 58% of students were proficient, the lowest result among 11 nearby schools and 13 percentage points below their 71% average.
Math is a relative strength against state results, though the school is not a local leader: 54% were proficient, 15 points above the state, 12 below the district, and 4 below the nearby-school average; Indian Trail ranked sixth of 11 nearby schools. Science shows a similar contrast: fifth-grade proficiency was 51%, 4 points above the state but 19 below the district and 12 below the nearby-school average, ranking ninth of 11. Grade results also vary: third-grade math reached 72%, while fifth-grade ELA was below the state and every nearby school serving that grade.
Results have improved overall in ELA and math since 2023–2024, but recent progress is uneven: ELA rose 15 points over the period, then fell 6 points in 2025–2026, while math rose 15 points and was nearly unchanged from the prior year. Indian Trail’s state advantage in math remained substantial, at 15 points in 2025–2026. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 9.8 students per teacher, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, even as its latest ELA result was locally lowest. In 2021–2022, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest rate among five same-district schools reporting that measure and year. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings stand out: Disabled Students ranked at the 96th percentile in 2024–2025, 20 points above the school overall, while Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked at the 57th percentile, 19 points below overall.
